Just installed a pair of P3 Crucial Nvme 500Gb drives in my F2-424.

No issues as far as I can see. Short test in Bios passed.

Some quick testing: NVMe drives only, empty caddies installed to replicate airflow conditions, transfer >6000 files via smb mixture of large(ish) and small. [ Includes TOS install & updates, Windows isos, apps]
speeds better than 100MB/s on a single gigabit link. Fan speed set to medium (for safety).
Temps hardly twitched:

Drives are fitted with 2mm copper heatsinks (with thermal layer).
